I have hit a brick wall on James Richards, born 1873 in Rugeley Staffs. I’m sure he was in his 80’s when he died; he was still living in Rugeley at the time of his death. I have searched the BMD sites but he’s just not there. Any help would be most appreciated, thank you.

Thank's a lot Maddie, you have achieved something the Lichfield Reg were not able to do. I owe you one.

I'm sure it's the second one on you list, he seems to fit the bill.
Many thanks.
